So the overal callback rate was 16.7% but whitened black resumes has a 25.5% callback rate and whitened Asian resumes have 21%? So the results are even higher than the average? So whitened ethnic resumes get more callback than the average resume, which would be a "white" resume? How does that work? Especially when they cannot hide the Asian ethnicity with the surname?

And on top of that, the ethnic resumes show political involvements whereas the whitened ones show charities?

Seems like they had a result in mind and worked towards it. But it still could not hide that western Asians have a higher callback rate than whites.

They whiten their names so they have a higher chance of being called back, which th studies show is a measure that does increase their rate. If that isn't proof of systemic racism, I don't know what is. Also, how do Asians have a higher callback rate than whites? The average is 11.5 for Asians and 10% for blacks, while the average in total is 16.7%, which means that whites have to be higher.

There was no white reference group. This was only the "whitened" and "non-whitened" in question, and the averages are only between them. And this is what makes the study bad. Also, you have to consider that "whitening" consisted getting rid of political activism, that isn't generally seen good thing in a job application, unless it's political/lobbying job in question, and even then of it is good or bad thing depends where you stand politically (and who you know).
